Jimi Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Crinoids in Mo range from Silurian to Devonian era. I haven't had the luck to find a crinoid head yet. Waiting for the Mississippi river to get low to look for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Crinoids (Uintacrinus) are found in the Niobrara Chalk (Late Cretaceous) of Kansas and a formation in Colorado as well, I think. I haven't started researching them yet.

Ramo Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Those cool free-floating crinoids are found out west, but I've never found any. Eastern Kansas has lots of crinoid pieces, but I have never found a head in KS. For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
